In this issue

This issue's cover story is "Unspoken Combinations for Status and Authority in Jyotiṣa" by Raman Suprajarama. It provides a framework to assess Rāja Yogas beyond standard textbooks, detailing specific combinations for leadership. Learn to judge a Yoga's functional capacity by analysing the relationship between Kendra and Trikona lords. The article explains the qualitative assessment of a planet's working state (Avasthā) and teaches how to identify factors, like severe affliction to the Moon, that annul high-status promises.
"Vāstu Corrections for the Non-Compliant Residence" by Students of Niranjan Babu presents a non-invasive method for remedying Vāstu doṣas in existing homes without structural demolition. It outlines a diagnostic approach using the Vāstu Puruṣa Maṇḍala, elemental forces, and deities. Learn the technique of integrating the house's correction with the inhabitant's Jyotiṣa chart (specifically the 4th house and ruling Daśā) to enhance harmony.
Revisit a classic: "Notes on Varāhamihira’s Bṛhat Saṁhitā" by Dr. B. V. Raman. This work shows Varāhamihira's synthetic genius, positioning Jyotiṣa as a holistic science. It reinforces the master's insistence on empirical observation over blind faith in Vāstu-vidyā and omens (Nimitta-śāstra).
"Advanced Analysis of Wealth and Education Yogas" by S. Ramakrishnan is a practical blueprint for prediction. It establishes the mandatory requirement for Varga chart analysis, showing how to confirm Dhana and Rāja Yogas across key divisions like Navāṁśa and Siddhāṁśa (D-24). Learn to correlate these Yogas with Jaimini's Ārūḍha Padas and time their activation via the ongoing Daśā.
Finally, "'Incidents' and 'Accidents'" by Cyril Fagan defines the two core event categories: subjective 'incidents' (revealed by Daśā) and objective 'accidents' (revealed by Solunars/transits). The article mandates the use of the sidereal (Nirayana) zodiac and geocentric positions for accurate Soli-lunar returns.
